Race preview

Hudson De Grugy finished a neck in front of Quel Destin over C&D last month but Paul Nicholls' inmate can reverse the form now 2lb better off with that rival. However, his stablemate CAP DU MATHAN could be the one to side with, even though he has to shoulder top-weight on this occasion. He is now rated 5lb above his last winning mark but should not be taken lightly following a good second at Kempton last month. Quinta Do Mar is another to bear in mind up in trip from his latest success at Fontwell in February.
